My hometown team is the Washington Nationals, so I went with a Nats-inspired color scheme for my card. The baseball player is colored with Copic markers and cut out, then adhered to an oval panel using foam tape.I found some great patterned paper in my stash that coordinated well with my color scheme and had perfect patterns for a masculine card design—stars and stripes! I used the star patterned side underneath the image panel and the striped patterned side for the large panel that covers most of the cardfront. Since I didn’t have a large scallop edged rectangle die, I had to substitute a regular rectangle shape for it. The striped panel’s wrapped with a strip of light blue twill. I like to use twill instead of ribbon on my masculine cards when I can.
The sentiment is stamped on a notch ended strip I adhered so it extends out from underneath the image. I cut a pennant strip from red cardstock to stretch across the upper left corner of the cardfront. The pennant isn't something I'd usually think to add to a card, but it does add a nice, whimsical feel to the design.
